Comments on: Decrease Your Posting Frequency

There might be some truth to this, but I don’t think its a matter of whether or not you put a burden on your reader. The reader can check the site whenever they please…that’s the whole point of a blog after all. I just think that post frequency and traffic don’t correlate directly.

On my blog a sudden dramatic change in my work schedule has caused me to not post for 3 months. Traffic has gone up steadily the entire time. I don’t think its because I’ve stopped posting, just that search engines and finding posts that hadn’t previously been indexed, and I’m getting links on some older posts from authority sites.

I’m convinced though that if I had been posting regularly my hits would be increasing much faster. I guess what I’m trying to say is that there is no concrete way to test how your post frequency affects your hits because there are too many other factors affecting you already.

Superbloggingtips.com ran a post that I found very interesting, regarding how often one should post on your blog. I see many people saying that you should post something every day. However this post argues that posting less can actually increase your membership and traffic. healthy living tipss last blog post..Lowes or Home Depot?

I post daily with my blog. But sometimes I ran out of things to say… Or there are times that I am just too busy at work. I have started my blog out of fun, but now I would also want to follow the footsteps of others who earn money from their blog. I am still in the process of learning the ropes of it. Thanks for a great advice.

I definitely agree. I have reduced my blog posts to about 3 or 4 a week and I think it shows in the quality of the posts. I also enjoy the blog a lot more because I’m not stressed about what I have to write about next.

Thanks for sharing your input and past experiences, everyone. I really appreciate it and it’s nice hearing what’s worked for you.

Ellen, no, I haven’t taken the pictures myself although that’s something I’d love to do. I use the photos from Flickr with a Creative Commons license and credit the photographer with a link at the bottom of each post, or below the image. Thank you very much!

I’ve cut back from daily to every other day for about 3 months now and I’ve had an increase in readership. I think one of the big things is GOOD content. I thought my posts were good, but now that I have some time to think about them, I think a lot more of them are better.
